Important: Never invent URLs or fabricate documentation content. Always fetch to verify.
Runtime Lookup Workflow
- Identify the topic from the user's question
- Match to a page from references/docs-index.md
- WebFetch that page for authoritative content
- For community context, use WebSearch targeting
site:reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode,site:reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI,site:reddit.com/r/Anthropic, orsite:reddit.com/r/claude - Synthesize and cite the source URL in your answer
When the right page is unclear, fetch https://code.claude.com/docs/llms.txt first to browse all available pages.
When to Fetch vs When to Know
Always fetch for:
- Specific CLI flags, settings keys, or environment variable names
- Installation steps or version-specific behavior
- MCP server configuration schemas
- Hook event names and payloads
- Pricing or subscription details
Use community search for:
- Workarounds to known issues
- Real-world integration patterns
- Tips not covered in official docs
- Questions starting with "Has anyone..."

Common Questions Answered Without Fetching
These facts are stable enough to answer directly:
Installation: curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash (macOS/Linux/WSL). Homebrew: brew install --cask claude-code. The CLI command is claude.
CLAUDE.md hierarchy: managed policy → user (~/.claude/CLAUDE.md) → project (./CLAUDE.md) → local (CLAUDE.local.md). Keep files under 200 lines. Run /init to generate a starter file.
Context window management: Use /clear between unrelated tasks. Run /compact to summarize. Auto-compaction triggers near context limits.
Session resume: claude --continue (most recent), claude --resume (picker), claude --resume <name>.
Plan Mode: Shift+Tab to cycle modes, or --permission-mode plan. Use before multi-file changes.
Hooks vs CLAUDE.md: Hooks are deterministic scripts that always run; CLAUDE.md is advisory context Claude may or may not follow.
Skills vs Subagents: Skills are reusable knowledge/workflows loaded into context. Subagents run in isolated context and return summaries.
